The bill amends section 11-28.3-06 of the North Dakota Century Code, which pertains to the organization and compensation of rural ambulance boards. It establishes that the board of directors must consist of a minimum of five and a maximum of ten residents from the district, with elections held for a two-year term. The bill also introduces provisions for the election of officers, including a president, vice president, and secretary-treasurer, and allows for the specification of director numbers in the district's bylaws, ensuring equal representation from each township or group of townships.

Additionally, the bill modifies the compensation structure for board members, allowing them to receive compensation at a rate set by the board of directors, in contrast to the previous stipulation that all officers and directors serve without pay, except for the secretary-treasurer who may receive a salary. It also mandates that a special meeting be held within sixty days to fill any vacancies on the board due to resignations. The bill maintains that no more than two elected board members can be affiliated with the licensed ambulance service serving the district, and these members must qualify as volunteers.
